"Marx once said, 'With a profit of 20%, capital gets excited; with a profit of 50%, capital takes risks; with a profit of 100%, capital dares to face the risk of being hanged; with a profit of 300%, capital dares to trample on all human laws.'"
"How much profit do you make from drug trafficking? Is it more than 300%?"
Amakusa Shirou asked the two black police officers, who were tied to the ground, in a magnetic voice and with a gentle smile, leaving the two black brothers bewildered.
Guns were certainly terrifying, but for a heroic spirit, guns were not so terrifying. After the black brothers rushed into the church, Mash immediately picked up her shield from the ground and swung it at them. The two brothers were knocked unconscious. By the time they woke up, they were already tied up tightly.
Police officers, a high-risk profession in the United States. Due to the social environment in the U.S., many police officers would engage in illegal activities, such as these two black brothers who were drug trafficking.
This was why Mash's refreshed weekly tasks included guiding police officers toward the light.
"I can be sure that your profit from drug trafficking is not only not 300% but not even 100%. Am I right? Perhaps the amount of each drug transaction is very large, so the profit looks relatively high, but have you ever thought that this business of yours is not the most profitable, and there are even more profitable businesses?"
Amakusa folded his hands over his abdomen, a gentle smile on his face, looking very priestly. But in the eyes of the black brothers, they didn't understand what Amakusa meant by saying this.
"Have you heard of Amway?"
The black brothers were bewildered for a moment and shook their heads.
"Then do you know about health supplements?"
"In the United States, many families take dietary supplements. Especially in a place like New York, you could say that middle-class families all take dietary supplements. Every morning, they will pop a bunch of different kinds of chewable tablets. The annual sales of dietary supplements in the U.S. reached over 30 billion, with a coverage rate of 80%."
"And the cost of these dietary supplements is only 10% to 15% of the market price. Do you know what this means? It means that after removing other intermediate costs, the profit reaches 400%."
"The most important thing is that the sale of this stuff is legal, while the drugs you sell are not."
"I know your salary is low and your income is not enough to support your family, but drug trafficking cannot give you the income you want because the risk is too high, and the profit is not the highest, do you understand?"
The black brothers were completely confused. They looked at Amakusa in front of them in a daze. What was wrong with this priest? They originally thought he would call the police, but he was talking about selling medicine and profits. What were they?
"It seems you don't understand what I'm saying?"
Amakusa shook his head helplessly, but he didn't give up. He still had a gentle smile on his face and planned to be more direct.
"Can you tell me how much you spent on the goods you got today?"
"50,000 U.S. dollars."
The black brothers answered honestly.
"Then how much will you sell them for?"
"Probably a little over 100,000."
"If you use that money to buy dietary supplements and sell them at a slight discount below the market price, you can sell them for at least 200,000 U.S. dollars. Do you understand now?"
"We understand, we understand!"
They didn't understand the things he said before, but when it came to money, they immediately got it and nodded.
"Most importantly, it's legal! You just need to become an agent for those pharmaceutical companies, and it's completely legal. This is a profit of up to 300%."
"In that case, will you still sell drugs?"
This time, they shook their heads directly.
"And the most important thing is that you don't have to worry about not finding customers. You just need to put in some effort at the beginning, and then you'll have a fixed number of orders every month, and this number will even increase. If you think about it, you can turn 50,000 into 200,000 in a month, but after that, it will turn into turning 50,000 into 200,000 in a week. In a month, you can turn the 100,000 U.S. dollars you're getting now into 800,000 U.S. dollars!"
He didn't need to say anything else, he just used U.S. dollars and numbers to dizzy them. The black brothers had no other thoughts, their minds were full of nothing but money. Every time Amakusa said something, they would nod, looking completely mesmerized.
"So, stop drug trafficking and go sell medicine instead. You'll make more money that way, won't you?"
Nod, nod.
"Since you both agree, then there's no problem."
Amakusa nodded to Mash, who was still holding her shield. Mash went over and untied the ropes from the black brothers.
The two black brothers' minds were full of U.S. dollars, the matter of 800,000 U.S. dollars a month.
Although this kind of thing could only be achieved with large-scale sales, it didn't affect Amakusa's ability to fool them with it, and it sounded very real to them, didn't it?
Stan Lee had already left a long time ago. After seeing the two black brothers out the door, Mash closed the church door.
Standing outside the church, the black brothers looked at each other.
"Hey, man, do you think what that priest said is true?"
"I don't know."
"Then why were you nodding so much just now?"
"I was nodding because I saw you nodding. Why were you nodding?"
"I was afraid of getting beaten to death by that woman next to him who was holding that scary thing."
"..."
"How about we give it a try?"
"Give it a try?"
The two black brothers looked at the drugs in their hands and then thought about the medicine business Amakusa had just talked about, and they couldn't help but want to try it.
"It seems the task is complete."
Inside the church, Amakusa Shirou looked at the screen in front of him, which showed that one weekly task had been completed, the police officer task.
When he caught the two drug-dealing police officers, he was still wondering what to do. Then he remembered a line: "Have you heard of Amway?" Then he thought of selling medicine and health supplements. He originally planned to give it a try, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
"Senior, congratulations on completing the task, and this task has also triggered a new one!"
As Amakusa's assistant, Mash also knew about the task completion and congratulated him while also announcing a new task.
"A new task? Are there other weekly tasks?"
"It's not a weekly task, it's an event task. The FGO system is not the same as the FGO game."
A glowing screen appeared next to Mash. She raised her hand and moved the screen in front of Amakusa.
"Because you favor Amakusa Shirou, you yourself have his Spirit Origin. Also because of Amakusa Shirou, the system has given you the identity of a priest and this church. And because of the task you just completed, this new task has been triggered."
Amakusa looked at the glowing screen. There was a large line of text on the screen: The Knight Who Helps the Weak, Knight of the Round Table Lancelot Arrives.
